Hibs announce pre-season glamour friendly against Arsenal

Hibs have announced a glamorous pre-season friendly against Arsenal this summer, as the north London club add to their mini tour of Scotland.

Jack Ross and his Scottish Cup finalists will welcome Mikel Arteta and the likes of Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Easter Road on July 13 as they kick-off a summer training camp north of the border.

The Gunners will take on Hibs four days before travelling across the M8 to take on Rangers at Ibrox, as Arteta returns to Glasgow after a successful spell as a player for the Gers between 2002 and 2004.

Given Arsenal could finish the campaign as low as 10th in the Premier League, and won't play in European competition for the first time in 25 years next season, Arteta and co will be hoping for the perfect preparation ahead of a much-improved campaign.

It could also be something of a homecoming for fans of the Hibees as it's set to be the first time supporters can enter the club's Leith home since March 2020 - and they could be parading the Scottish Cup if they do the business against St. Johnstone at Hampden on Saturday afternoon.
